You’re ridiculously undersized.
We refuse to acknowledge that gnome rogues can kill us during a stunlock; how do you Kidney Shot us when you can’t reach our kidneys?
We don’t understand how gnome warlocks can have minions when any self-respecting demon could inhale you while laughing at you.
We cannot conceive how a gnome warrior can hold threat on anything while being stood on.
And I respect you too much to say anything about gnome mages.

– You are ridiculously oversized
– How do you reach down so far to hit us… bet you can’t even touch your toes!
– Gnomes are closer to Hell… and much more evil than you can ever imagine
– Ever heard of the thorn in a lions paw?
– Lucky… :-P

– Majority rules, shorty.
– We stand on you. I fail to see how Warstomp can NOT be an instant kill.
– Yeah, if you jump you can bite our knee caps. That’s evil.
– Except that the annoying thorn becomes *splat* a gnome-sized stain. How do even pierce a dragon’s hide with your tiny weapons, much less Sunder the target?
– :P

@Darksentinel:
– Majority rules, shorty?
What in the obese sense? No, a 1 ton cow does not count for more than 30 petite Gnomes!
– Warstomp… lol, we just slip between your toes…
– If we stick our climbing picks in your knee caps, we can bite your… Well, let’s just say it’s nice to swing from a Tauren’s tail!
– Just like a splinter… we slip in just under the skin and annoy the hell out of you.

@ Zupa.
I had a 3 word response… but I am felling a bit dirty right now, and I am really trying to keep this out of the Dalaran sewers

I don’t hate all gnomes. just the ones who think i would make a good pin cushion, or a good pile of melted goo, or a frozen popsicle, or pile of ash. Also i didn’t doubt the realibility of a gnomish taxi service. I doubted the self control of said gnomes not to play a prank or 2 :) If gnomes could be hunters i would come very close to selling what little is left of my soul to the alliance and playing one. I think a gnome hunter with a big ole’ bear or wolf or devilsaur would be awesome.

I used to be in the “really really dislike gnomes” camp for the longest time. I couldn’t even place it. Perhaps it was ’cause gnomes looked so darn goofy, or their squeaky high pitched voices or the fact that you could be a warlock and have green hair. *cough*

I will admit that the male gnome /cry emote sounds hilarious. Their laugh is also cute (in the good way.)

Through what crazy turn of events (I don’t know) I rolled a female gnome warrior… and she, my friend, is cute as a button. Applecake, perhaps you remember her. (Oh, that reminds me – gnomes always have ridiculous names. Yes, I played into my own dislike. The irony is not lost on me.)

Now that I have played a gnome, I like them as a race a lot more, but I will tell you one thing – I will NEVER like female gnomes with those ridiculously huge pigtails. NEVER.

~sets down the mana hookah~ Of all the gnomes out there, you’re my favourite. ^_^

I think my dislike for most gnomes stems from my brief time spent in Tarren Mill. Ah, Tarren Mill. ~shudders~ While I got ganked by plenty of Alliance, it seemed the gnomes were the ones who would camp the worst. Ganking doesn’t bother me. It’s a PvP server; you kinda expect it. Camping does bother me… and at least on my server, the gnomes seem to do the most of it.

But as an example, I was running around Gankerthorn Vale on my 37ish pally when this 57 gnome dk ran up and camped me to the point of having a two minute rez timer… and kept killing me and my quest mobs. Boyfriend came over with his dk and pushed him to the two minute rez timer limit. Then he left to go do whatever it is blood elf dks do in their off time… brush their ghoul’s hair or something. But within five minutes HE CAME BACK.

So it’s not that I really hate gnomes; I hate stupidity. And dick moves annoy me. It just seems the ones who do the most dick moving are gnomes on Archimonde.

Gnomes can be sooo mischievous…. there are other words… one which ends in ‘holes

Ahh Ganken Mill & Gankerthorn Vale… Seriously I can’t think of two places in Azeroth that I would least like to reclaim for the Alliance…. Crossroads… the Horde can keep it… Silvermoon City would be a nice addition to the Alliance lands… maybe the Gnomes can move in and leave the Dwarves in peace
